this hotel where i'm talking to you from. the two hundred journalists waiting for some eight hours and up meet had been told would be a christian one person which would say something. and it's trying to be erratic behavior but people don't really know what he's about to say what he's about to do something that. is of how to deal with situation on the ground now he did go on state television where he did once again to q. and a great stuff for instigating ridgeline and he said that they were back in the vehicles and as such they had to charge six it was very much the. foreign minister mr moussa koussa he said that this was a well paid by foreigners. model it's clear. that the proof is the. great powers in supporting them first of all which is that. the u.k. has made several visits negotiations and offered to help the same situation is that

france and the u.s. great growers compete for the right to own oil gold resources and this rivalry is going on there is a new push from the international stage for ignorant flight certainly no question in france i can often resolution. by the fact that it has been rejected by the arab league by russia france and like to keep a no fly zone might all planes what is important to note that it was no fly zone doesn't need it and it seems increasingly like you got it right it will have a limited impact that's why any kind of ground offensive which could possibly launched by its troops at the same time nato has begun a twenty four hour wait maylands over the country now. any. information about. these that because he's such they can be eased into

intelligence. conducting these tools and. we also know that the talking stick. which once again has people. in egypt one on the other it might some good excuse for some kind of retreat intervention or a thank you for that report it's clear that gadhafi doesn't want foreigners to intervene let's turn now to our he's our son of boyko in benghazi so how are the rebels reacting to the claims that they are being backed by the west now the opposition of course denies these claims and five days prior to. our recent barrison and being a british intelligence services our group here in our group was to bring. back home local leaders say that they do not want any foreign intervention in fact they say if indeed it happens it will play directly into the hands of their very

adamant that these uprising whatever it. will are not remains to be seen. as a canyon after all of the people but majority of the population including the. do not want for the village because that is the iraqis that are you washington. is to establish control over these oil reserves which constitute billions and billions of dollars of proceeds with. some of the opposition leaders told us today that they're now to regroup to accumulate all of their resources and all that they have. against the town of third. or not the opposition forces will be able to run these contrary found. still remains to be seen army is this in the war and they help weapons because they're very poorly trained at the same time the

only thing that i would say is on their side is that infuses are very craven trying to find new means. here's a grand prix what i mean our next story. they call it the vehicle of the free pickup trucks have long been popular in the desert but their four wheel drive power easily come close to true tristan's it's certainly been maybe one of the very few places on earth that seems to have. been given your state of texas people here like this car for its ability versatility and strong action and if this fascination with pickup trucks that allow get uprising in eastern libya to pick up steam he first father bought this track a few years ago for his family business his son a twenty five year old economics student now sets out for the front line. of yet it's a very good car especially when those are when

a sedan will be able to use it when our you can go and fight for my country. ever since the uprising began almost three weeks ago columns of rubble pickup trucks have been crisscrossing the desert around been ghazi rebel say the vehicles in the military allows them to dodge attacks from pro-government forces and has more than once saved their lives we got thrown by bombs. and we were trying. to get everybody to work in these old pieces of soviet or more have been rusting on the main embankment of the ghazi ever since the rebels to cover the c.t.e. they now serve as a playground for kids and symbols of defeat for the just. this man was among hundreds of young officers who in the 1980's were sent to soviet military academies by get out his government now a staunch critic of the libyan leader and he says tanks like to get out the regime

have long days. all this heavy armor is no gaited that's why pickup trucks came in so handy with slight modifications they can easily be converted to try to round rocket launchers and machine guns utilizing the utility vehicles for rabbit attacks is hardly a libyan in than sion pickup trucks have long been a feature of more than warfare you see tend to see patterns in certain vehicles are used by the u.s. military in the u.s. government so it was in afghanistan before it's in afghanistan now or to them in afghanistan most of them in libya want to use supplied pickup trucks that help afghan insurgents fight soviet troops three decades ago now it's sleepy and behind that wheel and they're at a crossroads wondering which way to drive their country next at some point are at sea in gazi. the use foreign policy chief has reaffirmed the union's determination to end the violence in libya with more sanctions expected by friday

but political writer tim gado says some european nations and the u.s. are being hypocritical when they talk of humanitarian issues in libya. so that what they're doing this they're saying that. he is killing all these people you know all the rebels and civilians on the ground and they want to eat because a humanitarian excuse to play libya but meanwhile there are. people dying left and right you haven't heard anybody say they want to send military force to work because there are more. women i think it's the as a nation britain and france are being uses this as an excuse to wreak on eyes libya and take their own i think by lifelong a first step military operation against libya because then it would provide still sustain them doing a american buying that shot down and. where they shot on one of our shared civil

lives just given an excuse to invade them because the no fly zone starts with a military operation and i believe that they're just looking for and it is the guards of the you and the little. united states the arabs are going to look at us and say oh this is the very middle eastern country this is the third arab country that green even basic. during this period of unrest in the arab world saudi arabia the u.s. staunchest ally in the region has been largely spared in part thanks to a strictly enforced ban on public protests today artie's peter lavelle and guess discuss what the future might hold for the middle east richest country crosstalk coming your way later this hour here's a preview. growing sandstorm unique here of middle east as change sweeps the region just saudi arabia immune to outside influences u.s. president barack obama says he supports democracy and the aspirations of the people

does this apply to the kingdom of saudi. in years after russia and the united states pressed the symbolic reset button and their relations vice president joe biden is now in moscow he's already met the russian president dmitry medvedev or he's a carrier trouble is following the events and joins me live from central moscow with more hello how to reno so biden's visit is aimed at upgrading this reset between the u.s. and russia how are they going about that. oh indeed it looks like this visit looks like going to town to expand into new dimensions of this recess and as you've just got to but it was joe biden came up with the chair of the to push the reset button when he described the venue you lucky presidential were off the bottom of the times to improve relations with russia two years ago and now this street is seen as an attempt to assess where relations between the two countries stand meet weight with

iraq obama's presidential term and also plan to try and use this to try and. to succeed to get further progress in these recess here and this is what the white house describes as the fuel track of forging agreements where the two countries interests can bridge and agree to disagree in areas where they don't and in indeed there exist some very touchy issues on the table for us here in washington explore for us a little one of these touchy issues on which the two nations disagree. both to name just a few that is called advance in europe after years of opposition the u.s. finally agreed to include russia in breaking with nato on an antiballistic missile plan for europe which the u.s. believes. might be needed even iran comes up with nuclear weapons russia was not he believes was not offered and had it with level of cooperation on that so just be sure for a long time has remained one of the main he returns in relations between moscow and

washington now another frequently shoe is russia's accession into the world trade organization russia has so w. chill membership for the past day kate and i hope this is way more than any other beating country current member of these organizations a day present to get if even jokes during the meeting we joe biden but with hopes the grim and russia's obsession to delve into will be signed by the end of this year by the way earlier than joe biden and his career so these two topics dominated the top says the president was meeting with the u.s. vice president and also these talks were part of major for gratian support true for brock obama's upcoming visit to russia later this year and how about how high is. the situation going on their. whole course leave it was also i am do you chandru
